Haha I didnt even know there was a secret set Sunday. Should probably get a ticket first though and not many around. Very clearly by far the most sought after day.

Now that I’ve written it down, Friday and Saturday seem a bit thin for me so I feel better about sacking it off. Anyway, this would’ve been my weekend, Sunday unreal:

 

FRIDAY

Hollywood Undead > Creeper > Electric Callboy > Cypress Hill > Limp Bizkit

 

SATURDAY

South Arcade > Landmvrks > Those Damn Crows > Babymetal > Trivium > Architects > Guns N Roses

 

SUNDAY

Kublai Khan TX > Dogstar > Thrown > The Plot In You > Social Distortion > Dinosaur Pile-Up > Ice Nine Kills > Bad Omens > A Day To Remember > Linkin Park

Having gone through and planned my weekend, I’ve realised that, for me, it’s the weakest overall lineup since 2022 for stuff I absolutely must see. I’ve fleshed the Saturday out especially with stuff I’ll see just because I’m in the arena when, realistically, I wouldn’t be bothered about missing anyone before Trivium. If it wasn’t for the secret set (it might be someone sh*t anyway), I wouldn’t have anything I’d want to see at all for about 4 and a half hours between Kublai Khan and Dinosaur Pile-Up.

First time doing Download, been on my bucket list for too long. Plenty to keep me busy through the weekend, can't wait to check the site out. Prayers to the weather gods.

Star Live doing Main Stage only, Serious Stages still doing the rest.

Interesting, and thanks for coming back to give an update! I've seen that the second stage looks bigger than usual too, looks to be a Serious Stages - Stellar Stage from distance photos. 

 

Seems like sizing wise stages have been scaled up somewhat this year.

Same here, when the lineup dropped it looked very strong but this year I’m considering more whether I buy tickets for enjoyment or fomo.

 

Speaking of that dilemma, I caved and bought a Turnstile Piece Hall ticket so I’ll see you there 😂

A less exciting question: 

How easy is it to get to the south entrance to the arena if on foot as a weekend only ticket holder? 

The drive to the hub drop off on the north side and the following walk was a sod last year.

If you are walking from south into the arena, as arena only, it takes 10-15 minutes to get into the arena. Will be slightly quicker this year too, as you enter the arena further up now.

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
